Abbotsford Filipino Martial Arts
We are a small group practicing Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) in Abbotsford. We train in the Lightning Scientific Arnis and Pekiti Tirsia Kali systems.
FMA incorporates stick, knife and empty hand techniques to create a fast and efficient combat system, which builds confidence, coordination and self-defense.
Lightning Scientific Arnis is from the Island of Panay founded by the late Grandmaster Benjamin Luna Lema in 1937. It was a synthesis of the different techniques informally practiced throughout the Island and incorporates the techniques of Tercia, Serrada, Cadenilla and espada y daga with the use of: single stick, double stick, stick/sword and dagger, knives, empty hand. This is an “espada y daga serrada” system (from Spanish- sword/stick and dagger) it’s main principle is fighting out of the opponent’s line of sight (Serrada) and focuses on the power generation and speed of the weapon.
